📋 About This Mod
Intoxication
(Drunk and Drugged visual effects)
♦ Description:
Adds Visual Effect of Intoxication after consuming alcohol or skooma.
Doesn't contain quests or new scripted events. Uses simple harmless vanilla script.
Effect duration is 60 seconds. Smoot start and closure.
Main file is Vanilla version (meaning other effects of drinks and skooma are vanilla).
You can make patches for your "food and drinks" mods (or i can make patch for your preferable mod, but there is so many of them).
Alcohol dispels effect of other alcohol (replaces visual intoxication effect by its own).
Skooma doesn't dispel effect of alcohol. So you can have both effects in same time.
♦ Installation:
Drop to your Skyrim\Data folder or use mod manager
♦ Note:
If you use mod for realistic needs like "iNeed" or "Realistic Needs and Diseases", you probably most of times use unalcohol drink (water). But now if you want or forced (by needs) drink alcoholic beverages, they will give your character Intoxication effect.
Also it's more fun to have drink in taverns and have double vision.
And about skooma. Now it's real drug. So, kids, don't use it. ;)
Intoxication adds visual effects for drinking alcohol or skooma in Skyrim, with a 60-second duration and smooth transitions. It uses a simple vanilla script, doesn't add quests, and is compatible with mods like iNeed. Ideal for players wanting immersive tavern drinking and realistic drug effects.
